To calculate the period of an object given the number of turns it makes in a specific time frame, you can use the formula:
Period = Time taken for the turns / Number of turns
In this case:
Number of turns = 600
Time taken for the turns = 2 minutes
Substitute these values into the formula:
Period = 2 minutes / 600 turns
To simplify, convert the time to seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds):
2 minutes = 2 minutes x 60 seconds/minute = 120 seconds
Now substitute the converted time into the formula:
Period = 120 seconds / 600 turns
Calculate the period:
Period = 0.2 seconds
Therefore, the period of the object is 0.2 seconds.
